Railroads to Get Boats as Aid in Freight Rush Washington, March 21.—Read justment of the coastwise and great lakes shipping control is under con sideration by the shipping board and the railroad administration. The probability is that the latter will be given charge of numerous steamers which are regarded .as primarily auxiliaries to rail transportation. By co-ordination of domestic water and tail movement under one control, it is believed greater speed and economy in transportation facil ities will be obtained, especially in bulk commodities such as cotton, which are shipped from southern ports to New England. A cargo of 1 cotton could reach Boston from Sav annah in four or five days, while that many weeks is required to reach its destination by rail after passing Washington, A train of steel takes as long from Pittsburgh to the At lantic seaboard as from the same place to Pacific coast shipyards. Railroad Notes Both the Philadelphia and Middle, division paycars started to-day on a semimonthly distribution of checks for Pennsylvania railroad employes. A freight wreck on the Pittsburgh division of the Pennsylvania rail road held up traffic for two hours to-day. Freight traffic was blocked last evening in the vicinity of the Penn sylvania Railroad station by. a de railed coal car. The latter jumped the tracks at the cross over switches leading to the Reading tracks. Nelson W. Walker, porter at the office of the superintendent of the Philadelphia division, Pennsylvania Railroad, whose smile has been missed for several days, returned to work this morning. He has been confined to his home with a severe cold. For a while Mr. Walker was threatened with a serious illness. His return brought much relief to his army of friends. WTiile Brakeman Robert L. Grani gan. of Swatara, was in the act of testing a' hand brake on a freight car at Rutherford, the club he was using slipped and struck him, break ing his nose and severely bruising his face. He was taken to the Har risburg Hospital. NOT THE DANIEL WEBSTER Daniel Webster was arrested last night for being drunk and disorderly. In order to assure school children that in consulting their Webster they are not following the lead of a false shepherd, police supplement the above statement with the explana tion that the arrested Daniel is no relation to the great patriot states man, but a negro who made himself obstreperous last night, following j the imbiding of too much whisky IHe received a hearing this after j noon. NAVY BALLOON FALLS Corporal R. R. Owen, sergeant at the recruiting station at Blairsville, Indiana county, wired Lieutenant Lesher to-day at the local station that a large observation balloon fell in Indiana county, and was salvaged I by him. The balloon is the property jof the United States Navy, manu factured by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. It had left Akron, Ohio, on its trial flight and descend | ed at Blairsville. The pilot escaped uninjured. A man from Ohio was to come to take charge of the balloon yesterday.

Pa., on or tributary to the Baltimore and Ohio and West ern Maryland railroads, and in the Indian Valley districts in Fayettee and Westmoreland counties. Pa. RAILROADMEN LIKE GARDENING Numerous Applications Forj Plots Along the Middle Division Pennsylvania railroad employes are jumping at the opportunity to start war gardens on company property. There will be hundreds of war gar dens along the Middle division be tween Marysville and Altoona. Many Harrisburg employes who own cot tages will worn gardens between Marysville and Newport. 1 At least a dozen plots have already been as signed. Application must be made to A. A. McClellan, chief engineer, at Altoona. Though It is still very early In the season and the official notice that the company would again rent out! the plots this year was only posted night before last. Mr. McClellan an nounced that already two-thirds of those who cultivated plots last year hav.e applied again and there arc enough new applications in to make up tlie other third. With the advent of real spring weather and the spreading abroad of the notice, coupled with the fact that the war gardening movement is an even more vital necessity this year than last, Pennsy officials expect that hundreds of applications for plots will come rolling in for the next few weeks until the total num ber may be two or three times as large as last year. All applications, on the Middle division, should be made to the office of Mr. McClellan. Big Succea* I.n*t Year "Though only an experiment," said Mr. McClellan, "the plan proved a very decided success last year. Near ly all of the employes who rented plots met with success, save a few who picked out very poor pieces of ground. This year, with the ekperi ence gained last year, a much bet ter success is looked for, as the men now know a great deal more about hew to care for their gardens. "Why, some of the men were so anxious to get their same plots again this year that they began making applications for them early in Janu ary, fearful that they might be leased to someone else," said Mr. Mc- Clellan, "but the man who worked a plot last year has the first right to it this year and we will not give it to anyone else unless he gives up his lease." The company lias plenty of avail able tillable land, narrow strips along the right of way everywhere and many larger plots owned but not occupied by buildings or works, and any of this can be had by employes at the nominal rental of $1 per acre. Employes also have first chance, but. it outsiders want land, they can also get it, though they will be charged regular commercial rental. Dry Forces Beaten in New York Senate Albany, X. Y., March 21.—Defeat of the ratification by the New York legislature of the prohibitory amend ment to the Federal Constitution was virtually accomplished last night ■when the dry forces in the Senate on a test vote, in which all their power was displayed, lacked a ma jority. The vote was 2 4 for the ratification clause and 25 opposed. Twenty-six votes were necessary for success. RICHCREEiTwiNS FIGHT FOR LIFE [Continued from eluding his aged father, who attend ed both trials, came forward and left the room with the young man. The jury retired yesterday after noon shortly before 5 o'clock, and was out until an early hour this morning when the verdict was reach ed. The jurors had been instructed to bring in a sealed verdict. Court convened last evening at 8 o'clock and word was received that some of the jurors wanted further instructions. District Attorney Mi chael E. Stroup and James A. Stran ahan and A. Ross Walter, the latter two defending Richcreek, were call ed and the prisoner was brought into court. A few minutes later the jury entered and Judge A. W. Johnson then explained more fully the defini tion of murder of the first degree and second degree and manslaughter. Interesting Trial The trial of young Richcreek has been an interesting one as the prosecution was forced to prove guilt without having a witness of the crime when it was committed. The contention of the Distr.Vt At torney's office in investigating and handling the case was that the mur der was committed with intent to rob. The defense claimed accidental shooting, Richcreek maintaining at both his former trial and the present one that he shot at a bird, the charge striking Silberman who was on the other side of the canal towpath near Middletown. With the exception of the refusal of Judge Johnson to admit as evi dence a number of targets which had been hit by using the shotgun which Richcreek had fired, the second trial differed but little from the first. It is not believed that any of the new murder cases on the list will be reached during the present session of court. • One of these, the case against Charles Kyler, charged with murder ing a railroader from the west end of the city, was listed to be heard by the Grand Jury to-day. The other two cases against two colored de fendants, William Evans and An drew Carey, will be heard by the Grand Jury to-morrow. Both of the murders occurred in Steclton last month. SEC.

The Victoria Theater is fortunate in having secured this superior production for showing to day. Much of the action centers around an effort made by a German spy to blow up the war munitions factory owned by the father of Grace Culver, the central figure in the play. The: role of Miss Culver is superbly played by Miss Gordon and the char acterization she gives this role is one of the very best that she lias yet given the screen. As is always the case in Miss Gordon's plays she wears a great variety of gorgeous and ex pensive gowns in this production, and, as "The Wasp" has been lavishly staged and the story is all that could be desired, it is evident that in this Picture the film fans have supreme screen entertainment.

TRY MAGNESIA FOR STOMACH TROUBLE It Neutralizes Stomach Acidity, Prevents Food Fermentation, Sour, Gassy Stomach and Acid Indigestion. Doubtless if you are a sufferer from indigestion, you have already tried pepsin, bismuth, soda, charcoal, drugs and various digestive aids and you know these things will not cure your trouble—in sonic cases do not even give relief. But before giving up hope and de ciding yrtu a' a chronic dyspeptic just try the effect of a little bisurated magnesia—not the ordinary commer cial carbonate, citrate, oxide or nfilk, but the pure bisurated magnesia which you can obtain from practical ly any druggist in either powdered or tablet form. Take a teaspoonful of the powder or two compressed tablets with a lit tle water after your next meal, and see what a difference this makes. It will instantly neutralize the danger ous, harmful acid in the stomach which now causes your food to fer ment and sour, making gas, wind, flatulence, heartburn and tho bloated or heavy, lumpy feeling that seems to follow most everything you eat. You will llnd that provided vou take a little bisurated magnesia immediate ly after a meal, you can eat almost anything and enjoy it without any danger of pain or discomfort to fol low and moreover, the continued use of the bisurated magnesia cannot In jure the stomach in any way so long as there are any symptoms of acid In digestion.

Gorgas Not to Take a Cent of Anyone's Money Unless Allenrliu Completely Ban ishes All Rheumatic Bains tuid Twinges. Mr. James H. Allen suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work. He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be tree from rheumatism until the ac cumulated impurities, commonly can ed uric acid deposits, were dissolved il. the joints and muscles and expell ed from the body. With this idea in mind he consulted physicians, made experiments and tinally compounded a prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism i from his system. • Ho freely gave his discovery to others who took it. with w'lat might be called marvelous success. After years of urging he decided to let suf ferers everywhere know about nis discovery through the newspapers. Geo. A. Gorgas has been appointed agent for Allenrhu in this vicinity with the understanding that he will freely return the purchase money to all who state they received no benefit. —Advertisement.

This preparation is the greatest ginger-up stimulant and nerve vitalizer ever known for put ting the good old "pep," ambition, courage and real vital energy into a tired, run-down and shattered nervous system. Here is a test worth trying. The next time you feel tired, blue, or tvhen your nerves are fairly crying out, rat a Margo nerve tablet. Then wait for just ten minutes, and note results. Margo seems to go straight to the nervo cells and starts work the min i.te it reaches them. It brings a ten minute change from that awful dull, weak, lazy, don't-give-a-bang feeling to brightness, strength, clear headed ness and courage. It calms and strengthens the nerves of people who get the "jumps" and tidgets, and gives them poise, power and tremend ous reserve energy. Margo nerve tab lets are absolutely harmless, contain no dope or habit-forming drugs, and are always safe, easy, pleasant and efficient.
